SHANES CASTLE THERMAL VIDEO BY WEST MIDLANDS PARANORMAL
Some interesting thermal camera footage we took at Shane`s Castle, County Antrim, Ireland where `Game of Thrones` is filmed during our weekend visit there in July of 2015.
It may show possible `Figures` up on the Battlements, this is unusual because as you`ll see in the video the Battlements or Ramparts are no longer there so access to them is impossible.
Thanks for watching.

Antrim Castle Gardens - County Antrim, Northern Ireland
Antrim Castle Gardens which is also referred to as Antrim Castle Gardens and Clotworthy House is considered a historic gem which people will never find anywhere else in Northern Ireland; it is the place that was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund in order to become in the same measure of beauty which we see today.
As much as this location is considered a beautiful green space that one could stroll down to enjoy, it is also considered a historic place which tourists come to visit in order to check the Clotworthy House that is found inside - and which is the reason behind referring to it in the name of the whole place - and at the same time get the chance to visit the Garden Heritage Exhibition in order to know more about the story of Massereene Family.
Antrim Castle, which is located in the same place where the gardens are situated, was also referred to and known as Massereene Castle. The Massereene Castle passed through lots of stages in its development; it was erected in stages between 1613 and 1662, it was destroyed by fire in 1922, and it was finally demolished in the 1970's. In addition to the castle, there was an Italian tower built there in 1887 and a gatehouse which was built in 1818 with twin neo-Tudor towers, with older connecting walls.
People in county Antrim - and in Northern Ireland in general - consider Antrim Castle Gardens a living museum that carries over four centuries of culture and heritage. In these 60-acre gardens, there are some features which you will need to check and which include visiting the Large Parterre, Her Ladyship's Pleasure Garden and Yew Tree Pond. Along the walk in this garden, you will at some point come across the sculpture which is named The Massereene Wolfhound which is considered part of the history of this family that played a great role in bringing this garden to life and giving it the chance to become a historical place until this day.
In order to bring back lots of the things and features which used to make this garden different and take it back to its 17th-century reality, there were lots of things done and a lot of hard work exerted in the major programme that was dedicated to it by the Heritage Lottery Fund that was considered the biggest garden restoration project to be seen in Northern Ireland.
As much as the whole place is mainly about the old restored garden, you will also get the chance to see those new and ornamental gardens during your visit. It is easy to reach this garden and there you will find heritage, you will find education and interpretation, as well as community arts' facilities which you will find them scattered all around Clotworthy House that is part of Antrim Castle Gardens.
There are different events that sometimes take its place in this place and one of these examples is the Christmas event which we even got the chance to attend - it was beautifully different for us as adults as well as for the kids for the different games and other sweets which it managed to serve them ( - we definitely recommend this place for those who are trying to visit a place in county Antrim which will mix between heritage and history as well as the new features and informative things which are all found there.
County Antrim, which is one of the six counties that are found in Northern Ireland, carries several destinations and touristic attractions that people could go to and visit. From the long list that is found out there, we would recommend Bushmills Distillery which is located in Bushmills that is in county Antrim ( Another option is the famous Dark Hedges which is located in Ballymoney in county Antrim as well and which became even more famous after it appeared in the famous Game of Thrones movie series ( Carrickfergus is one destination in county Antrim which we have been to before and which we would recommend as well ( and we would also recommend Carnfunnock Park which is one of the things that we believe should be done in county Antrim - especially if you have kids and want them to enjoy the time along with you - (
There are actually lots of things and places in county Antrim and the suggestions always depend on the place you are residing in and how far you will be from all these different places; always search our channel according to your location and you will definitely find lots of places on it which you could visit and lots of things which you could actually do when it comes to Northern Ireland.
Our trip to Antrim Castle Gardens was all worth it, we enjoyed the mix of history and modernity and that is exactly why we are recommending the place to you all.

History
It s impossible to trace the centuries, the date or manner of edifice first built on this dramatic site. Probably the present ruins replaced an earlier stronghold built in the 16th century and originally called Edenduffcarrick.
An account of the rebellion in Ulster states that in 1596, “on the edge of Lough Neagh standeth a runiated pile called Edendow Carreck, which, being made wardable, could be converted into a store for provisioning Blackwater and Coleraine in case of sea storms.” This Castle changed hands repeatedly, and, finally, in 1607, James I settled the Castle and Estate upon Shane McBrian O’Neill, whose family had held it at various times previously. The name “Shane’s Castle is probably derived from this man.
In all probability, the oldest part of the ruins were built at the time of the Plantation, and unfortunately, this is the part which was largely destroyed in the fire of 1816. The Castle gradually increased in size over the years, until approximately 1780 when it had become a very fine castellated structure. The illustration below dates from this period, and shows that landscaping of the Park was already well established. Reference to the earlier illustration on the previous page shows that a village previously existed on the edge of Lough Neagh and adjoining the Castle. As far as is known, this village was removed shortly before 1780.
John 1st Viscount O’Neill, lived at Shane’s during this time up to his death in 1798. His wife was a great friend of Mrs. Siddons, the famous actress, who became a frequent visitor to the Castle. She wrote, “I have no words to describe the beauty and splendour of this enchanting place which, I’m sorry say has been levelled by fire. Here was often assembled all the talent, and rank, and beauty of Ireland. The luxury of this establishment almost inspired the recollection of an Arabian Nights entertainment.”
Earl O’Neill succeeded his father in 1798, and about ten years later, entrusted his ideas for a further expansion of the Castle, to the famous architect Nash. Regent’s Street, Regent’s Park, Carlton House Terrace, and Buckingham Palace were all designed by Nash, the leading architect of his day. He built both in the Classic style, as at Buckingham Palace, and in the Gothic castellated style, as at Shane’s Castle. The main object of the plan was to give the house a southern aspect, whereas, previously, it faced east.
In 1816, only the terrace and Conservatory had been completed, when the main block of the Castle was destroyed by fire. Legend attributes the cause of the fire to the Banshee. Normally, a room was kept empty for her use, but on this occasion, a large house party needed every room. She was so angry at finding her room occupied that she set the Castle on firm. In fact a jackdaw's nest caught fire at the top of the chimney, unused for many years, eventually crashing down into the room.
The terrace, even though no longer surrounded by water, is a permanent reminder of Nash's scale of building, and the ast uncompleted rooms would have commanded a fine view over the Lough. The completed conservatory is an exact copy of the one Nash built for himself at East Cowes Castle, Isle of Wight. Today, it houses one of the finest collections of Camelias in the United Kingdom: they are over 100 years old.
